It's the weekend! You've worked hard to get to this point, so you deserve to play hard, too. We've curated our favorite events happening around Austin for the next few days, from pop-ups to festivals to grand openings—all you have to do is round up your crew. Have a great weekend, y'all!
Dance your face off with Tycho: KUTX presents this Bay Area, chart-topping group that earned a Grammy nod for its fifth album, EPOCH, which was nominated in the best dance/electronic music category. Tycho is performing this all-ages show with Khruangbin at Stubb's Waller Creek amphitheater; select tickets are still available. Friday at 7pm
Listen to music while sipping on the best craft beer around at Index Fest: Local Natives, Frenship, Grizfolk and more are all playing at the party formerly known as Untapped Festival, but the breweries planning to pour that evening are the real stars of this event. More than 75 of them are serving over 250 different kinds of beer, and you get 12 2-ounce samples with the cheapest ticket and 16 two-ounce samples with a more expensive one. Bring your sunscreen. Saturday at 5pm
Grow your art collection at the West Austin Studio Tour: This free, annual, self-guided art tour takes place across West Austin throughout the weekend. After picking up a guide at Austin Public Library branches, choose from 172 artist studios, 45 galleries, 92 temporary exhibitions, 11 happenings, 6 libraries and 5 schools where you can explore the works of some of Austin's most talented artists. Saturday & Sunday 11am-6pm
Find quirky treasures at the Sekrit Theater estate sale: This just might be Austin's biggest estate sale of the year. The Sekrit Theater, which was recently put on the market for a cool $3.5 million, is an Austin landmark, displaying antiques, movie props, vintage pieces and old yard art. Stop by on either day this weekend to snag a piece of Austin history. Cash and personal checks accepted. Saturday 9am-3pm, Sunday 10am-3pm
Eat all the tacos at Taco Libre Austin: Sixteen taquerias including Tacodeli and Papalote Taco House will be selling $2 tacos that range from traditional to contemporary. Connoisseurs might consider a VIP ticket, which gains early access to the food before general admission (plus two complimentary drinks). Be sure to stay for the lunchtime entertainment: live music and lucha libre wrestling in the Austin American-Statesman's parking lot. Sunday at noon
Treat mom to a Bama Bug Broil at Half Step: The cocktail bar on Rainey Street is celebrating mothers everywhere with a traditional Alabama-style crawfish boil. For $10, you'll receive a plate piled high with corn and crawfish, plus you'll also get a glass of punch. Live music is provided by the Pine Hill Haint's. Sunday at 2pm
